Psoriasis vulgaris: an interplay of T lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and inflammatory cytokines in pathogenesis

An interactive network of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, dendritic cells, and type 1 T cells or natural killer T cells potentially drives pathogenic inflammation in psoriasis vulgaris. Continued clinical studies with defined immune antagonists provide a critical means to dissect the contribution of different cell subsets and genomic pathways to the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris.
